Modelling of nonisolated high-voltage gain boost converters using the PWM switch model

This paper presents the small-signal models for nonisolated dc–dc boost converters based on the three-state switching cell (3SSC) and voltage multiplier cells (VMCs) by using the concept of pulse-width modulation switch introduced by Vorpérian. Two possible topologies are analysed in the study using one multiplier cell (VMC = 1) and two multiplier cells (VMC = 2). The models are validated by properly comparing the theoretical curves with those obtained in simulation tests. Besides, conventional average current-mode control is implemented in practice for the topology with VMC = 2. An experimental prototype rated at 1 kW is evaluated so that it can be seen that the control system is stable and the dynamic response of the converter is satisfactory.
